Pluto Files on PBS Tonight

Tonight (check your local listings) PBS airs a new episode of NOVA: The Pluto Files. The show is based on the book by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

While I have not yet seen the program I expect it likely that the show will have some of Caltech's Mike Brown and some discussion of Palomar, the discovery of Eris, an outer solar system world that is larger than Pluto.
